The one where Nicole is here to stay!

Everyone is happy Nicole is here!! (Except maybe mom--but at least she has sisters here, right??) 

Its been chilly lately and I am LOVING it.  I have to force myself to close the windows because its freezing.  Yesterday it actually snowed! And, yes, my windows were open.

Well this whole new opening all doors thing is not my favorite during nap time.  The first days we were back Luca kept coming out of his room, and not sleeping at all, I was stressing out that he was just done with naps--which wouldn't be cool.  I need naps more than him probably.

This day I kept hearing his door open and shut, so I would call up the stairs to get back in bed--and the door would shut, so I assumed he was listening--but he wasn't.  He was in the bathroom.  Splashing in the toilet, and digging his fingernails in the bar of soap.  

My fault for not checking. 

Oh man.  This piano hasn't been played this much in so long.  I almost got rid of it a while ago just because it takes up so much space, but I am so glad I didn't!  Even Jose has been playing more.  I love hearing it all.

Our sprinklers came on, on the last day I knew it would be over 90 in a while, so I took Luca out so he could run around in them--I told him he could, and I even stuck my own foot in them so he would.

But this is all he did--he got hit by some stray water, and steered clear of the rest.  I just love his little footprints.

And then, dad got home--so they both ran right through them all, and Luca loved it, of course.  He played out there for a while after he was soaked.

The sprinklers are flooding our front yard, so there was a beautiful puddle to jump into.
